As lateral means to a dramatic end, my early solo initiatives Whwymgb?, Pecu, amnd and Opæan defined a surprisingly coherent project, providing material and direction for all subsequent collaboration. Primarily, I would lead Psychological Art Circus to create a body of theatrical work guided by the lives of three seers, Anna O., Olive Pixley, and in Illusions of Reference the Oracle, Pythia.
After Illusions, I began to uncover the conceptual framework for a new circus within the life and art of Majorcan mystic Guillem Fanaler. The results of my sustained research — visual, sonic, and systematic — are currently the basis for an evolving series of hybrid lecture performances.
